Affirmation: I Get That True Happiness Means Being True to Myself

I do not use external factors to make myself happy. I know that true happiness comes from being true to myself.

Being true to myself means living according to my beliefs. What I believe is grounded in my morals, and I use my conscience as a guide. I believe in following my gut.

My principles help me work through both the positive and negative experiences in my life. I occasionally make tough decisions that are necessary for my happiness. Some decisions that may cause unhappiness today lead to happiness later. I have confidence in my instincts about what to do, regardless of the effect today.

When my conscience is clear, I feel comfort. I leave my nervous predispositions in the past. I do not rely on opinions from others to make my decisions. Seeking advice is helpful, but I just do it to gain perspective.

Every so often, I catch myself being inflexible in my thinking. I recall my duty to make mature decisions. Even if others are not happy with my choices, I refuse to change my mind.

My decisions are based on my natural inclination towards happiness.

I continue to seek happiness in every aspect of my life. I understand that it is a work in progress. Circumstances change and cause me to make tough decisions. But I am justified when I remain true to myself and my morals.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How do I not allow the influence of others to change my moral position?
2. What ensures that my decisions are geared towards happiness?
3. How do I not allow outside forces to influence me into making unfavorable decisions?
